ND are now up there with the best studios Nintendo has. Overall there is truth to this thread though, otherwise it wouldn't have lasted 9 pages.

By that logic, John Lucas' UNITY thread is one of the most truthful threads on this site.

Prediction threads are never 'truthful' because they are set in the future. I'm just saying that that Rol got enough bites to last this long, as well as a large number of people agreeing with him.

Software-wise, everything Nintendo puts out is quality. No one can deny that.

It doesn't matter if you're a fan or not. You won't be putting down your own system of choice if you think someone else is great at what they do. Give credit where credit is due. Nintendo have always been game creators since the beginning.

They make better games for children but for anyone over 12 you get other games.

Can't think of any other genres but Nintendo has great Party games (if you don't consider playing online party games), best Kart racers and great platform games but there are plenty of great platformers over the years.

Oops I forgot Action/Adventure: Yes

And Life Sim: Holy shit Animal Crossing is practically its own genre

Fixed.

You can't seperate Mario Kart from other racing games just for the sake of your point. Puzzle games, after Tetris, goes to Dr. Mario on NES and Game Boy. RPG's goes to Pokemon in a brutal massacre. Light gun games goes to Duck Hunt. Fighting games goes to Super Smash Bros Brawl, the best selling fighting game of all time. Melee was only beaten by Tekken 3, so there's no doubt of the strength of the series. Before the NES, Nintendo was the king of the arcade. That's where Mario got his start after all. Strategy, assuming you're not talking about RTS games since you separated those, would go to Pikmin, or Fire Emblem. And sports, are you kidding? Best selling game of all time, Wii Sports. Next best selling sports game? Wii Sports Resort. Then Wii Fit, but I suppose you'd put that in fitness games. No wonder they're making a whole new business out of it. After that? Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. Only then do we see FIFA. And how could you forget Action/Adventure? Motherfucking Zelda motherfucker. And Animal Crossing is just an example of Nintendo practically inventing genres. Sure there were things like it before that, but Animal Crossing is the only one that anyone gives a shit about now. I could argue it for more genres, but it'd be mostly opinion, and not using the logic of the OP, which isn't the best, but then you DID decide to respond to it so I guess you thought it was good enough to deserve a response.

 

God, Rol, you need to do more of these. I love/hate you for them so much. XD

“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”


― C.S. Lewis



Nintendo fans being obsessed with the "best" title again... What a shock!

 

Seriously guys, even if you really think that way, its meaningless.
